Surnames…

Palilla

This is my husband’s maternal
line. The Palilla family came
from Italy. Calogero ‘Charles’ Palilla was born in Sicily in 1894, son of Dominick
Palilla. He married Grazia Brgandi who
was born 1901 in Sicily. Both were here by 1920 when they were married in CT. Their
four children were born in New York State.

This is my husband’s paternal
line. Stories vary concerning the name change. This family came from Italy. Dominic
& Giovanna Pascale had two sons. Augustino [1855 Italy – 1929] married Maria
Grazia Servello. They had six children. Thomas [1873 Italy – 1958 NY] married
Camella Arena. They also had six children three born in Italy and three born in
NY.

My husband’s paternal
grandparents were Frank [1889 Italy – 1973 NY] son of Augustino & Giovanna
[1898 Italy – 1988 NY] daughter of Thomas. Giovanna ‘Jennie’ was famous in the
family for her delicious meatballs!
